“We believe our solidarity with Bulgaria as two NATO allies should be stronger than ever”
Holding a joint press conference with President Radev of Bulgaria, President Erdoğan said: “We are in a period when both the Balkans and the global system face great challenges. Therefore, we believe our solidarity as two NATO allies should be stronger than ever.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a joint press conference with President Rumen Radev of Bulgaria.
“During today’s talks, we discussed our developing and deepening relations as two neighborly countries. We are in a period when both the Balkans and the global system face great challenges. Therefore, we believe our solidarity as two NATO allies should be stronger than ever. We have reaffirmed our shared will to further advance our relations on a bilateral, regional and global scale.”
“OUR BILATERAL TRADE GOAL IS $10 BILLION”
Noting that they also discussed economic and trade relations as well as effective cooperation on managing irregular migration, President Erdoğan said: “Last year, our bilateral trade volume reached $6 billion. We will boost our efforts to achieve our shared goal of $10 billion as soon as possible.”
“Our cooperation will further advance with the completion of the border gates on the Bulgarian side, and especially with the strengthening of the food inspection infrastructure,” President Erdoğan said. “I would like to take this occasion to thank once again to President Radev for his support to our businessmen, who have invested over €2.5 billion in Bulgaria. Cooperation opportunities on energy security were also on our agenda.”
Stating that the Bulgarian Turks constitute a strong bridge between Türkiye and Bulgaria, President Erdoğan said: “As you all know, I pay special attention to protect our shared cultural heritage. In this spirit, we restored and reopened the Iron Church in Balat in 2018. It is our sincere wish that the Ibrahim Pasha Mosque in Razgrad be restored and reopened for prayer as soon as possible.”
Noting that bilateral visits will contribute to deepening the neighborly relations, President Erdoğan said: “On behalf of myself and my nation, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the people of Bulgaria, our friend and ally. I hope President Radev’s visit will lead to auspicious results for our countries and region.”
